Abstract

In this paper; I set out to argue that liberal nationalism offers an incoherent perspective on the ethics of migration. Because of its emphasis on the value of national cultures (both majority cultures and minority cultures); liberal nationalism fails to justify an alleged “duty to integrate” on the part of the migrants; and it also fails to justify the limits on immigration for cultural reasons.

Nyckelord
